Railroad Rumbliuxs.

A corps Of railroad surveyors are now at
work just east Of this city surveying the line Of
the proposed new railroad, which Is supposed
to have its starting point In Norman county,
Minn., and to cross the Red river at Caledonia,
crossing the Manitoba four miles north OF
Hillsboro, and then on In An almost due west
course to Darlington. There seems to be a
good deal Of secrecy concerning this new sur
vey, and but little information can be obtained
from the surveyors. They are driving their
stakes 100 feet apart and are evidently making
a very careful and accurate survey. The name
of the new company is believed to be tho
North Dakota & Pacific. Whether this limo
will be built or not remains to be seen, but one
thing is certain. aud that Is, it runs through
the richest garden spot in the territory and
would undoubtedly be line that would pay
mmensely.-MdYpile Tribune.

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty Of every person who has used
Boschee's German syrup to let It's wonderful
qualities be known to their friends In curing
consumption, severe coughs, Group, asthma,
pneumonia, and in fact, all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use 1t without imms-
diate relief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty Of all druggists to
recommend it to the poor, dying consumptive,
at least to try one bottle as 80 600 dozen bottles
were sold last year, and no one case whore It
failed was reported. Such a medicine as the
German syrup cannot be too widely known.

tits now q weiLssttlsd fact that tho ealiisf
varieties Of corn do well in Dakota. The thoa.
sands of acres raised in Traill county this ysar
afford proof that attention Is being turned In
this direction. The crop. when It has bssn
properly cultivated, ID a fine one the ears BE-.
Ing large and well matursd. But most corr
states are stock growing states, and while NJ
are this year raising more horses than noes
Eastern localities, we have neglected almost
entirely sheep interests. Now shsed ars The
most profitable animals which can be kept %
farm. They not only produce two crops
year, but afford weedy fields q great relief. OF
course there obstacles and difficulties In the
way. A parcticle farmer suggests that fences
are too costly. As matter OF fact fences cost
no moro In Dakota than they do in Maine or
New York, whore farmers spend years IN
cleaning their fields Of stones, then paying one
dollar per rod for laying stone fence. But.
suppose the fence Is too expensive an adjunct
OF sheep raising; there is still no excuse for the
farmers neglect Of this important branch.
Let three or four neighbour combine thelr
nocks, having first marked each animal, and
then hire boy to herd them, alternating from
ono held to another. The care and total OK
pense ola flock of three hundred during the
entire season would not exceed ono hundred
dollars. There are but four months when this
care would be necessary. After the grain 10
threshed the finest Of pasturage would bs af.
forded in the fields where much grain Is wasted
after the harvest. Sheep after fslps feeding
on the wheat stubble would go into winter
quarters fat az butter. We firmly believe that
there are opportunities for sheep raising right
here In Dakota where summer following 10 be-
coming very prevalent, possessed nowhere
else. Fallowing Is made much less expensive
where the herds are allowed to keep down the
weeds, trampling down the soil firmly and
saving tho expense Of plowing the second time.
Twenty acres of corn fodder will keep one
hundred sheep through the winter. In fact
there Is nothing In the way Of making Sheep
raising most profitable adjunct to wheat

The Hope public school opened last Monday
morning with an attendance of twelve in the
principals department and thrty-four in the
primary department. Many who propose to
enter school will be detained for month or
more during the busy season before commenc-
ing. 1t is more than probable that before the
present session ends sixty pupils will be in at
tendance. The school board has done much to
increase the efficiency of the school, and such
additions Of apparatus and helps in the way Of
charts, methods, etc., for exemplifying the
work as time and experience shall demonstrate
to be necessary will be added from time to
time. A good school is not only matter of
pride to community, but is also great help
viewed from business standpoint, and it
should be the aim Of all our citizens to con-
tribute by all means in their power in placing
and maintaining our school upon such high
standard Of excellence as to make it sought
after by pupils from surrounding communi-
ties

The total amount reported as expended for
charitable purposes is $25s, ,s35.4S. The total
number Of persons relieved was 26,eO6, Of
whom 16,6O7 were members of the Grand
Army, while the remainder, 5000, wsre either
old soldiers not members or those dependent
on old soldiers or deceased veterans for support.
While the amount reported is only $25s, ,oS6.43,
it is fair to presume that as much moro was
devoted to charitable purposes in an informal
manner by tho numerous posts Of which no
record at all was kept 1t will thus be sson
that the order was the means not only Of an
infinite amount Of fraternal enjoyment to the
